As Monsieur Poirot would say, especially when One has to go through the agony of an American trying to read the British classics.

What the future generations are going to listen to is badly pronounced language, which is definitely not English, reading English classics, anathema Maranatha.

Unfortunately, this illiterate/ badly pronounced semi-literate dialect is proliferating itself all over the place, calling itself English. It is most clearly Americanese, where pulse is pronounced poolse, multi is pronounced myooltie and other such imaginative atrocities in the spoken language.
